            Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                               (In Thousands)



Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------
The December 31, 1993 condensed consolidated balance sheet
amounts have been derived from the previously audited consolidated
balance sheet of Kaman Corporation and subsidiaries.
 
The balance of the condensed financial information reflects all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and
are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in
this report.  
 
The statements should be read in conjunction with the notes 
to the consolidated financial statements included in Kaman 
Corporation's 1993 Annual Report.
 
 

Cash Flow Items
- ---------------
Cash payments for interest were $3,606 and $7,129 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Cash
payments for income taxes for the comparable periods were $7,745 
and $6,388, respectively.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Consolidated revenues were basically unchanged for the three month
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 compared to the
same periods of 1993.  These results reflect the fact that
increases in Distribution segment sales were offset by lower
revenues in the Diversified Technologies segment.

Diversified Technologies revenues were down 19.3% and 9.8% for the
three month and nine month periods, respectively, compared to 1993,
as this segment's business continues to reflect the adverse
influence of conditions in the defense market and the commercial
aircraft industry.

Management expects that reductions in defense expenditures will
continue in future periods as a result of ongoing changes in U.S.
defense planning and spending priorities and fiscal pressures upon
the federal budget.  Military hardware programs in particular are
subject to a variety of risks, including lack of funding, contract
cancellation, or program termination.  The corporation has been
affected, principally with regard to its SH-2 helicopter program. 
The corporation expects to finish its contract to retrofit certain
SH-2Fs to the SH-2G configuration this year and does not expect
that the U.S. Navy will have further retrofit requirements at this
time since it is reducing the size of the fleet.  There is some
possibility that in the event the Navy provides retired ships to
foreign military services, an opportunity might exist for use of
the SH-2 for those purposes.  At the present time, there are two
squadrons of SH-2 helicopters (i.e, a total of sixteen helicopters)
serving in the Naval reserves and no helicopters in active Naval
service.  The corporation expects to continue to provide logistics
and spare parts support for the SH-2, but at lower levels than in
the past.   

Within the defense market, emphasis appears to be shifting toward
the use of more cost effective advanced technology "smart" weapons
in order to limit loss of life and property during military
conflict. The corporation has significant expertise in this area,
having performed a multitude of government contracts for advanced
technology programs over the years.  Management believes that the
corporation is well positioned to compete in a defense environment
that emphasizes advanced technology products and systems, as well
as advanced technology services such as computer software
development, intelligence analysis, and research and development.

          Condition and Results of Operations (cont.)


Even so, management recognizes that as the government continues to
focus on advanced technology programs in an environment where
overall defense expenditures are declining, competition for these
types of government contracts can be expected to increase.

The Diversified Technologies segment continues to perform work on a
number of commercial airframe manufacturing programs. However, the
level of commercial air travel and lack of profitability in the
domestic aircraft industry have caused a slowdown in aircraft
production rates which is continuing to affect the segment's
subcontract work.  

The K-MAX(Registered Trademark)helicopter program is an important
component of the Diversified Technologies segment commercial
diversification efforts. The K-MAX(Registered Trademark)is a medium
to heavy lift 'aerial truck' helicopter with special operating
characteristics that distinguish it from other helicopters for use
in logging, fire fighting, and other utility applications.  The
helicopter received FAA Type Certification (Part 27) on August 30,
1994.  The first production lot of five (5) helicopters has been
completed and deliveries are being made to initial customers under
a special lease program that allows the corporation to maintain
active involvement in the product's introduction to the market-
place.  The aircraft are being carried in inventory during the
period of this special lease program.  The next production lot will
consist of six (6) helicopters for sale in 1995 to strategically
chosen customers in the United States and abroad.  Although
management believes that this program has good potential in the
long term, the program is not expected to materially offset the
effects of reduced defense spending in the shorter term. 

Distribution segment revenues were up 12.3% and 10.7% for the three
month and nine month periods of 1994, respectively, compared to a
year ago.  These results are largely attributable to the industrial
distribution business, which comprises slightly more than 75% of
the Distribution segment.  Industrial distribution sales are made
to nearly every sector of U.S. industry so demand for its products
tends to reflect industrial production levels and general economic
conditions.  Continued improvement in the domestic economy has
contributed significantly to increased sales for our industrial
distribution operations.  To some degree, these results also
reflect the effects of the company's value added systems marketing
strategy which has differentiated it from its competitors.  Music
revenues were up for the three and nine month periods of 1994
compared to the same periods of 1993, reflecting improved
conditions in the U.S. economy and increases in foreign sales.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations (cont.)


For the three and nine month periods of 1994, the Diversified
Technologies segment had substantial increases in operating profits,
compared to the same periods of 1993.  The increases are attributable
to the third quarter 1993 pre-tax restructuring charge of $69.5
million.  That charge represented restructuring and other non-
recurring costs associated with defense conversion initiatives and
downsizing the defense and commercial aircraft manufacturing
businesses of the Diversified Technologies segment. If the
restructuring charge were disregarded, Diversified Technologies
operating profits for the three and nine month periods of 1994 would
have been down 12.2% and 13.3%, respectively, compared to the same
periods of 1993.  These results reflect the ongoing effects of several
factors, including program reductions due to lower defense spending;
increased competition for the awarding of defense contracts which has
resulted in downward pressures on margins; increased research and
development costs for defense conversion programs, notably the K-MAX
(Registered Trademark) helicopter and for new military product
development; and a continuing shift in business mix from hardware
programs to research and development type products and services with
somewhat lower profit margins.  Distribution segment operating profits
were up 51.4% and 24.6% for the three month and nine month periods,
respectively, compared to 1993.  These results are primarily
attributable to the industrial technologies business and reflect
improvement in the domestic economic environment.  

Interest expense for the first nine months of 1994 decreased 46.3%
compared to the same period of 1993.  This reduction is largely a
result of the corporation's exchange of $61.8 million of its 6%
convertible subordinated debentures for $57.2 million of its preferred
stock during the fourth quarter of 1993.  

The consolidated effective income tax rate for the first nine months
of 1994 was 37.5% and is somewhat lower than it would otherwise be due
to the corporation's receipt of a state tax credit. For the same
period of 1993, the corporation received an income tax benefit at an
overall rate of 31.8%. The income tax benefit was due to the
restructuring charge in the third quarter of 1993 and the resulting
loss for the first nine months of that year. 

Net earnings were $4.9 million for the third quarter of 1994 compared
to a loss of $42.5 million a year ago.  After giving effect to
preferred stock dividend requirements, earnings available to common
shareholders were $4.0 million compared to a loss of $42.5 million in
1993.  Net earnings were $13.7 million for the first nine months of
1994 compared to a loss of $33.7 million a year ago.  After giving
effect to preferred stock dividend requirements, earnings available
for common shareholders were $11.0 million compared to a loss of $33.7
million in 1993.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations (cont.)


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The corporation's cash flow from operations has generally been
sufficient to finance a significant portion of its working capital and
other capital requirements.

For general borrowing purposes, the corporation has maintained
revolving credit agreements involving several banks located in the
United States, Canada, and Europe.  In July 1994, the corporation
entered into amended and restated revolving credit agreements which
replace the previous agreements and increase the corporation's maximum
unsecured line of credit from $145 million to $200 million. The
agreements each have a term of five years and contain provisions
permitting the term to be extended for additional one-year periods
upon concurrence of the parties.  The agreements also contain various
covenants, including debt to capitalization and consolidated net worth
requirements.  During the first nine months of 1994 there were no
borrowings under the agreements which were in effect during that
period. 

The corporation also maintains other short-term credit arrangements
with various banks.  As of September 30, 1994, these borrowings were
at $45.6 million.  For the first nine months of 1994 average bank
borrowings against these short-term lines were $37.9 million compared
to $42.1  million for the same period of 1993.

In June, 1994, the corporation's board of directors authorized a
renewal ('the 1994 program') of the stock repurchase program which was
authorized in 1992 ('the 1992 program').  Under the 1994 program, the
corporation may repurchase up to 700,000 Class A shares in addition to
the shares remaining authorized under the 1992 program. As of
September 30, 1994, a total of 82,000 Class A shares had been
repurchased pursuant to the 1994 program.  The primary purpose of the
stock repurchase program is to meet the needs of the Employees Stock
Purchase Plan and Stock Incentive Plan. 

Management believes that the corporation's cash flow from operations
and available unused bank lines of credit under its revolving credit
agreements will be sufficient to finance its working capital and other
capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
